Parliament washed out for third day

NEW DELHI: An adamant Opposition continued with noisy protests in Parliament on Thursday, disrupting proceedings on the third day as well since the beginning of the Winter Session.

Within minutes of convening, both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned following disruptions by the opposition over the Adani issue and violence in Manipur and Sambhal.

The Houses were first adjourned shortly and were later adjourned for the day soon after reconvening at 12 noon amid the opposition parties' protests.

Before being adjourned, the Lok Sabha adopted a resolution granting extension to the Joint Committee on the Waqf Amendment Bill till the last day of the Budget Session next year.

The Lok Sabha witnessed disruptions during Question Hour, shortly after Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Ravindra Chavan took oath as members of the Lower House.
